// what is web hosting?
A home for your website.
Think of web hosting like renting space on a computer that's always on, always connected. When someone types your domain into their browser, your files serve from that spot on the internet — available around the clock. That machine is called a server. We run it for you. You own everything in it.
If you've never hosted anything before, that's completely fine. You don't need to understand how servers work to run one. HestiaCP — the control panel you'll use — is designed for exactly this: a clean dashboard that puts you in control without asking you to become a sysadmin.
You log in. You add your domain. You upload your site. It's live. That's the whole loop. And if anything feels confusing along the way, you reach us directly.
// for the veterans
Full SSH access, a complete CLI, and a REST API are all available. HestiaCP runs on Debian latest, uses standard NGINX + Apache2 + PHP-FPM configs you can drop into.

// everything included
Complete. Out of the box.
Holtzhost web hosting plans comes with our HestiaCP stack, fully configured and ready for you.
Websites & CMS
Host WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, WooCommerce, or any PHP application. Apache2 and NGINX work in tandem for maximum compatibility and performance, with PHP-FPM and multi-version support from PHP 5.6 through 8.4.
Professional Email
Full email hosting at your domain. Set up @yourdomain.com addresses with POP3, IMAP, and SMTP — all encrypted with TLS, no plain text. Roundcube webmail is ready in your browser — no client setup required. Spam and virus filtering keep your inbox clean from day one.
Free SSL Everywhere
Every domain you add gets a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate, provisioned automatically and renewed before it expires. Wildcard certificates are supported. HTTPS is never optional — it's the default.
Database Management
MariaDB and PostgreSQL are both included. Create databases, manage users, and import or export your data right from the HestiaCP dashboard. Your schema, your control — no extra subscription needed.
Security Suite
Fail2ban monitors for brute-force login attempts and bans offending IPs. ClamAV scans incoming mail for malware. A managed iptables firewall sits in front of everything. Active defense, not just a lock on the door.
Automated Backups
Nightly backups run automatically for every domain, database, and email account. Restore anything in a few clicks from the HestiaCP dashboard — no command line, no panic.
// compatible platforms
Host anything you build.
HestiaCP is platform-agnostic. If it runs on a LAMP or LEMP stack, it runs here — without special configuration or extra fees.

Everything managed
from one place.
Most hosts hand you a confusing dashboard built for their support staff, not for you. Ours is built around the opposite idea — every control you actually need, surfaced clearly, without burying routine tasks three menus deep.
Not sure what configuration fits your needs? We'll talk through it with you and plan around your needs — if you didnt find what you're looking for, contact us!
Yours to Operate, Fully
Power cycle, rebuild from a clean OS in one click, rotate credentials, and reconfigure services without opening a support ticket. The panel is designed so routine management stays in your hands, not ours.
Modern Infrastructure.
You shouldn't have to overpay for features that should come standard. Our infrastructure runs current-generation hardware protected by SSL, global IP blocklists, and around-the-clock monitoring — no extra billing.
A Technology Partner, Not a Vendor
Infrastructure is the floor, not the ceiling. Combine dependable, scalable hosting with direct access to an engineer who understands your stack — so you have someone to think alongside, not just someone to file tickets with.
